A facile route to poly[1-(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl]alkane derivatives

Abstract

The synthesis of the tetrakis{2-[1-(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl]ethoxymethyl}methane derivatives 5a–c, 6 and 7, and the nitrotris{2-[1-(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl]ethyl}methane derivatives 9a–c, 10 and the picrate 11 has been accomplished by reaction of the 1-aza-2-azoniaallene salts 3 with either the aliphatic tetranitrile 1 or trinitrile 8, in high yields; the X-ray crystal structure of 5b is also reported.
